Since PEERRDNS=yes what server information am I putting in the /etc/resolve.conf since mine is blank? Also in my network-scripts file I have ifcfg-lo and ifcfg-profile_1 and ifcfg-profile_1-1

Edit 2

When I type sudo dhclient p9p1 -v I get
dhclient (2039) is already running -and exiting.
this version of USC dhcp is based on the release available on FTP.isc.org. features have been added and other changes have been made to the base software release in order to make it work better with this distribution.

To configure a DHCP client manually, modify the /etc/sysconfig/network file to enable networking and the configuration file for each network device in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory. In this directory, each device should have a configuration file named ifcfg-eth0, where eth0 is the network device name.
The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file should contain the following lines:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

A configuration file is needed for each device to be configured to use DHCP.
Other options for the network script includes:

DHCP_HOSTNAME — Only use this option if the DHCP server requires the client to specify a hostname before receiving an IP address. (The DHCP server daemon in Fedora does not support this feature.)
PEERDNS=<answer> , where <answer> is one of the following:
yes — Modify /etc/resolv.conf with information from the server. If using DHCP, then yes is the default.
no — Do not modify /etc/resolv.conf.

The reason you can ping 127.0.0.1 it because it is the loopback interface the interface inside your pc.
